In the midst of exams at NTNU

I just had two exams done. The first one was separation technology, which was ok, except that I could not get a few questions right. The exam was held in Trondheim Spektrum, which is like the MPSH area of NTNU, It is located near a u-shape bend of the Nidelva river, and the view along the building was simply amazing.

Next time I go Trondheim Spektrum, I'll make sure that I bring my camera along.

My second exam was actually a poster presentation for Energy from Wind and Tidal Systems. It was a really fun module as we got to design our own wind turbine, assembled from a blade and a generator. We brought it to a wind tunnel for testing, and our group's turbine had the best performance among all the others. And we got a free NTNU mug and a multi-purpose scarf. For the The poster presentation was more than just a presentation. There were groups who brought huge ass TV screens to show videos, and also some who displayed their blade on lamp stands etc. And most interestingly, everyone brewed coffee and baked cookies/cakes, some of which are inspired by wind turbine design. So you get gingerbread wind mills/ wind turbines, turbine-shaped cakes, etc. The mood was just wonderful. We also brought a tablecloth, had candles, etc. As our blade was so smooth and so well designed and well polished, the prof wanted to keep it! It will be in a hall of fame somewhere. Here's our wonderful team:

I'm the shortest among them all. And apparently, I could very well use a hair cut.

Our multi-national team :)

I have another exam tomorrow. So not looking forward to it, as it is a module which I found it hardest to understand (Process Modelling).

After tomorrow, I will have exams for Petroleum Engineering, where 100% of the grade depends on the exam, as well as for Process Control, which I hope I can do well.

I have a little more than a week left in Trondheim, and when the time comes, I will probably miss this place so much!
